] Beginner's woes
Hi Aron,
I've just thought of what it might be - the stuff I'm doing is based on
earlier files made in Fin2006 so it may be something in the conversion
process.
I've just made a simple file in 2012 and extracted the part - perfect!
Right, it sounds like it's the conversion that's
Thanks Mark,
Problems now solved. The main problem was my stupidity in taking on a
short notice job and trying to do it in a program I had had for only a
couple of hours.
The job was done on time and, after a few initial frustrations, worked well.
Thanks to all who helped me on that stressful
Sorry to bother you all again but I am having hellish problems with my new
Winfin2012 and the manual and help facilities seem to delight in taking me
to passages that have nothing to do with the query I've asked.
Extracting parts:
When I exctract parts, the title is printed way over to the right

Why not use linked parts instead?

Hi Jari,
Thanks, but I need to save separate files from which I will both print
parts and save to pdf. I also need to produce three copies of each part
for instruments in C, Bb and Eb.
There are 17 parts for each piece and there are 12 pieces. I am working
through them writing the instrument

You can do this from linked parts as well.
I cannot believe that Finale would produce parts without the part name on
them.
You need to create a text box
thanks Aron,
Just done that but when I try to add in Bb or in C after it, it
disappears and I have to start again.
I must be honest, I'm about to throw the computer at the wall.
I'm going to have one more go, then I'm off back to Finale 2006 which
worked perfectly.
Cheers,
Lawrence

Well, like any text insert, if you're adding text you have to make sure
your cursor is after the insert -- otherwise you're going to overwrite
it.
Hi,
that's exactly what I'm trying to do. The cursor is after the text block.
I can put what I like after the title, but not after the part name.
It's also sticking the composer/arranger name somewhere off the page and I
have to move it manually to where it should be.
I appreciate that all
I just tried extracting a part in Fin (Mac) 2012. It looks exactly the same as
the linked part, so yes, you must be doing something wrong. Can't say what it
might be. Are the parts displayed correctly in the Score Manager? (found in
Window Menu)

Ah
No - you can specify the part label as you you want it (and different from the
Staff Name) from the Mange Parts window.

Did you try making the text block wider?

From what you've described, this is unlikely.

Just for reference, they look the same because they /are/ the same. Even
if you choose not to use linked
Hi,
Yes, I tried making the text block wider and that didn't work either. I've
just made another new file (a little more complicated) in 2012 and it's
perfectly ok, everything works. It's only in the files made in Fin2006
that have the problem.
I think that's where my answer lies.

Actually you can add in C to a text box that is set to be hidden in all
part(s) except the one(s) you specify. You can also add staves that are linked
to additional parts, but are not visible in the score, then just copy
everything over from e.g., the in C staff to the in Bb staff.

Hi Darcy,
Yes, I know that and I really don't mind being told to RTFM - that's the
advice I would give anyone, but given that I need to get these things done
for tomorrow (it's 1.00am here now) I was hoping that someone could give me
a quick fix on this particular point. As I said, I'm sure that
